  • Monitor robotic operations and assist with remote supervision.
  • Conduct field testing, collect operational data, and document test results.
  • Identify, troubleshoot, and report basic hardware, software, and connectivity issues.
  • Assist engineers during technical testing, customer demonstrations, and system evaluations.
  • Communicate technical observations and issues clearly to engineering teams and customers.
  • Maintain accurate documentation of field activities, system performance, and customer feedback.
  • Collaborate with engineering and operations teams to improve system reliability and field workflows.
  • Follow established operational procedures and safety guidelines.

Mandatory Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline.
  • Strong interest in robotics, automation, autonomous systems, or emerging technologies.
  • Ability to understand and operate technical equipment and follow engineering instructions.
  • Excellent English communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Strong problem-solving, troubleshooting, and documentation abilities.
  • Willingness and ability to travel frequently across the United States.
  • Comfortable working independently at customer sites and collaborating with remote engineering teams.
  • Strong organizational skills and a professional, customer-facing attitude.

Preferred Skills – Nice to Have

  • Hands-on experience with robots, drones, autonomous vehicles, or robotic platforms.
  • Academic projects, internships, or personal projects involving robotics.
  • Basic knowledge of electronics, sensors, actuators, and embedded systems.
  • Familiarity with Python, C++, ROS/ROS2, or similar technologies.
  • Experience with hardware/software troubleshooting.
  • Exposure to field testing, robotics competitions, research labs, or technical demonstrations.
  • Valid passport and REAL ID or equivalent travel documentation.

Ideal Candidate Profile

We encourage applications from:

  • Recent engineering graduates with robotics or automation projects.
  • Robotics club members and university competition participants.
  • Junior robotics engineers or technicians seeking field experience.
  • Electrical, computer science, or mechatronics graduates with practical technical skills.
  • Candidates who enjoy hands-on work, travel, problem-solving, and customer interaction.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

  • Gain practical exposure to advanced robotic technologies.
  • Work with drones, quadrupeds, humanoids, and autonomous systems.
  • Participate in real-world robotics deployments across the United States.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams and gain valuable field experience.
  • Build a career in the growing robotics and autonomous systems industry.
